Dr Barry Kellett from RAL Space will be presenting “The star of Bethlehem – an astronomer’s view ” at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

Can astronomy (the study of stars), when it is combined with history,
help us to work out when Jesus was born and what the Star of
Bethlehem could have been? Can astronomy also help to work out the
EXACT date for the Crucifixion and also how old Jesus would have been
when he died? You will have to come to the lecture to find out the
answers to these (and other) questions!
